The FBI is now leading an investigation into a series of disruptive bomb threats directed at over a dozen local schools earlier this month. The threat is considered “low-level”, he said, and there is no evidence that it was credible. Some schools were evacuated, while others were put on lockdown, and some held classes as usual.
